This revolver features a unique heart shaped trigger guard with round cocking lever, off-set hammer, six-shot cylinder, 7” octagonal rifled barrel and hinged loading lever (14 ¾” overall) .

The bore of the rifled barrel has light staining consistent with age and use. The barrel is absent its conical brass post foresight. The underside of the barrel is numbered ‘12’.
